gnupic: Thread: gputils / picp on OS/X

I've been quite happy with gputils and picp on linux. I've been wanting to
use them on OS/X as well. I seem to recall reading from various places that
both have been tested and work with OS/X. I'm just curious if there is anyone
else using OS/X as their development platform with these utilities? Also what
USB --> serial dongles are known to work.

picp works fine under OS X.  It compiles without any modifications.

I use a Keyspan USB to serial converter and it works well both with OS 
X and Linux (although it gives itself a wacky device name under OS X).  
I've used the one-port and four-port models; I'd have to assume the 
two-port version works fine as well.  The OS X drivers installed easily 
and the Linux kernel supports the Keyspan converters directly (if you 
compile it in, of course).

Some things about OS X are really nice (like a clipboard that actually 
works consistently) and some things are pretty annoying (like the fact 
that file names aren't case-sensitive).  Also, BBEdit is probably the 
best text editor on OS X and I think it comes up a bit short.  I'm 
thinking about porting e93 to OS X but I don't know when I'll have the 
time.

Nice domain name, by the way.
